A songwriting partnership is truly one of the oddest relationships in the human equation. Probably because of this I’ll always remember Doug as he was in the writing room. And he was great. He had no use for middle ground: it was always either “That’s amazing!”, or the dreaded “I’m not loving it.”

But a constant was the belief, the love, for what he was doing, for what we were doing together. It’s one of the many things I will always miss. And it’s that core belief, the fire in his eyes, that made the Knack possible. So, thank you, Doug.
